3rd-party intervention Centres failure: Karra
Srinagar, Aug 20:Jammu and Kashmir Congress chief Tariq Karra on Thursday said J&K was, is, and will remain an integral part of India, asserting that any third-party intervention in matters concerning the region would amount to a failure of the Centre. Karra was responding to questions about the visit of US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor to Srinagar a day earlier and his remarks describing J&K as an important part of India. Whether it is the US ambassador, the US secretary, or any diplomat in the world who says today that J&K is an integral part of India, they haven't said anything out of the ordinary. It has always been an integral part of India and the whole world knows this, Karra told reporters. During a joint media briefing with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday, Gor said J&K was an important part of India and an incredibly beautiful place. He also said the US would reconsider its travel advisories for J&K, citing measures taken by the Centre and the CM Omar-led administration to make the region safer. On whether Gor had attempted to strike a balance by describing J&K as an important part of India rather than explicitly calling it an internal or integral part, Karra attributed the perceived ambiguity to what he called the failed policy of the present government. For quite some time, US intervention in the government of India has been very high. And this happens only because our country has a failed policy today, he said. Karra referred to Operation Sindoor, the Indian military operation launched against Pakistan in May, and alleged that the level of US involvement during the episode demonstrated the extent of Washingtons intervention in matters concerning India. You may recall that during Operation Sindoor, the extent to which there was intervention from the US government... So, what I mean to say is that whatever confusion you have in mind or the people of India have in mind is all due to the failed policy of the present government, he said. On Pakistan summoning the US envoy following Gors remarks, Karra said the move was an internal matter for Islamabad and had no bearing on Indias position. That is the internal matter that they are inviting (summoning) them. Our policy is that J&K is an integral part of India, was an integral part of India, and will remain an integral part of India, he said. Karra said the Congress did not recognise third-party intervention in India-Pakistan matters, reiterating that the partys position had remained consistent on the issue. When it comes to the matter between India and Pakistan, after the Shimla Agreement, if there are any relevant parties, they are India and Pakistan, he said. The Congress does not recognise any third-party intervention because that has been our stated policy ever since. Today, if an intervention takes place anywhere or an offer is made, that is the failed policy of the present dispensation, Karra said. Pakistan on Wednesday summoned US Charg dAffaires Natalie Baker and lodged what it described as a strong demarche over Gors remarks on J&K.

Third-party Kashmir intervention a Centre failure: Congress
Srinagar, Aug 20: Jammu and Kashmir Congress president Tariq Karra on Thursday said any third-party intervention in the Kashmir issue would reflect a failure of the Central Government, while asserting that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India. Reacting to US Ambassador to India Sergio Gors recent visit to Srinagar and his remarks on Jammu and Kashmir, Karra said the envoys assertion that J&K is an important part of India was nothing extraordinary. Whether it is the US Ambassador, the US Secretary or any diplomat in the world who says today that J&K is an integral part of India, they havent said anything out of the ordinary. It has always been an integral part of India and the whole world knows this, Karra told reporters. Gor, during a joint media briefing with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday, described Jammu and Kashmir as an important part of India and praised its beauty. He also said the United States would reconsider its travel advisory for J&K in view of steps taken by the Centre and the Omar Abdullah-led government to improve security. Karra, however, attributed what he described as confusion over the Kashmir issue to the alleged failure of the Centres foreign policy. For quite some time, US intervention in the Government of India has been very high. This happens only because our country has a failed policy today, he said, referring also to what he described as US involvement during Operation Sindoor. He said any intervention by a third country or any offer of mediation on Kashmir should be viewed as a failure of the present dispensation. On Pakistan summoning the US envoy over Gors remarks, Karra said it was an internal matter of the neighbouring country. Our policy is that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, was an integral part of India and will remain an integral part of India, he said. Karra maintained that India and Pakistan were the relevant parties to bilateral issues concerning the two countries, citing the Shimla Agreement. When it comes to the matter between India and Pakistan, after the Shimla Agreement, if there are any relevant parties, they are India and Pakistan, he said. The Congress does not recognise any third-party intervention because that has been our stated policy ever since. Today, if an intervention takes place anywhere or an offer is made, that is the failed policy of the present dispensation, Karra said. Pakistan on Wednesday summoned US Charge dAffaires Natalie Baker and lodged a strong demarche over Gors remarks on Jammu and Kashmir.
